BIOGRAPHY
Al Lubel became a lawyer to please his mother and a comedian to please
himself (which did not please his mother). After graduating from law
school in Florida, Al moved to Los Angeles, passed the California Bar
Exam on his first try and wouldn't you know it, immediately began the
practice of stand-up comedy.
Lawyer by day and comedian by night, Al was doing justice to neither.
At comedy clubs, the crowds would stare, in court, the juries would
laugh. Al gradually began getting work on the road, soon becoming a
full-time comic. "I realized I had to give up the practice of law when
clients began calling me for legal advice at places like the St. Louis
Funny Bone."
So, Al quit the law. This was a good decision, because within a year
he won the $100,000 Grand Prize for comedy on Star Search. Doing the
"The Tonight Show" was a childhood fantasy, so when Al heard that
Johnny Carson was retiring, he auditioned and became one of the last
comics to appear with Johnny. More recently, Al just made his fifth
appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman.
Even though comedy is his first love, Al admits to missing the
practice of law. "I'd like to have one more trial, something serious
like a murder trial because as my client's fate hangs in the balance
I'd like to see his reaction when I whisper in his ear...I'm a
comedian!" |
